Folder Run Count and Date Run not updating when using "Open Path" or clicking internal file's Path column

[Dirty_Hairy]

[Bug]
Folder Run Count and Date Run are not updated when using "Open Path" or clicking internal file's Path column
Everything 1.5.0.1418b

It worked fine in Everything 1.4

I sort results by Date Run column (added) to have frequently used files available instantly.

• When search results are displayed and I click a file from list, Date Run and Run Count are properly updated.
• When I right-click a result item and choose "Open Path", Date Run and Run Count are not updated neither for the clicked file nor the containing folder.
• When I double-click a folder in the Path column, next to the found file to open such folder, Date Run and Run Count are not updated neither for the clicked file nor the containing folder.

Old behavior / expected:
Date Run and Run Count are updated for the result which folder was opened.

Ideal:
Date Run and Run Count are updated according to target configuration: result item / opened folder / both (/ none?).

There are last run updating settings in advanced configuration:

Code: Select all

inc_run_count_on_context_menu_invoke

and

Code: Select all

inc_run_count_on_drag_drop

, but none of them affects this issue.
In 1.4, the counter was updated on folder usage and not on other context menus like "Open with Code", which also allowed some flexibility.

Thank you for the issue report Dirty_Hairy,

Open Path not incrementing the run count is by design for Everything 1.5.

I will add an option to increase the run count when opening the path in the next update.

Everything 1.5.0.1419b adds a run_history_increase_run_count_on_open_path advanced setting.

When enabled and opening a path, the run count for that item will be incremented.

To enable run_history_increase_run_count_on_open_path:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  run history
• Select: run_history_increase_run_count_on_open_path
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.

Enabling will match the Everything 1.4 behavior when opening paths.

I've also renamed the settings to be more inline with my naming convention:
inc_run_count_on_context_menu_invoke => run_history_increase_run_count_on_context_menu_invoke
inc_run_count_on_drag_drop => run_history_increase_run_count_on_drag_drop
I've added the old names as aliases.

run_history_increase_run_count_on_context_menu_invoke
run_history_increase_run_count_on_drag_drop
run_history_increase_run_count_on_open_path
